PIO, what a great planning report! Love the food porn - some are familiar from another thread and I didn't realize you were the photographer. WOW!

I thought that hotel looked familiar! Lucky you having such a nice work provided weekend - I've never been lucky enough to work for a company that does team building weekends/days/mornings Can't complain too much though I have got some pretty good perks over the years!
And as much as I was encouraging you to go to Hawaii to report on Aulani, I think you should try to skip Hawaii for more days at WDW
Cape Canaveral, that would be neat to see. When we came in 06 I wanted to see so much , but alas only so much time..
I know you're flying in on the 2nd October. When are you leaving?

We enjoyed Cape Canaveral in 2008 and would not be adverse to going back there, but we have to get there this year before we make any commitments.
We are now not going to Dallas in September, hmmmmm maybe we can get up to my parents while Brandi is in SF....
Lots of things are up in the air!
That would be fun....
We are leaving on the 10th
Brandi - when are you going to be in SF?
Anyone want to nominate any others for me to monitor? What is your favourite Anaheim home away from home; and why?
Sep 29th thru Oct 4th of this year!
DH has a trip coming up to SF. He doesn't know what the exact dates are...but I suspect that might be too early. I am on the fence as to whether I want to hop on a plane with him or not.
Of course, I am being rather presumptuous about possibly catching up with you and David if the timing was right....
We always stay at the Embassy Suites I like the breakfast and the drinks in the evening
I always stay at Best Western Park Place Inn which is the closest offsite hotel right by the DLR or Best Western Anaheim Inn (which I stayed this past trip) which is a few buildings down from BWPPI.
You can't beat the location with BWPPI which is right across the street from the crosswalk. It has a continental breakfast which is not a full breakfast, but a good place to get a quick breakfast in the morning. The rooms are nice which some of them have a sofa bed. You get free Wifi at all the Bestwestern hotels which is a great thing.
The only downside I have with BWPPI is the parking which can get really full and it is very tight to park. It has a small pool in the middle of the hotel. It is not as big as Hojo or other hotels, but if you don't care about swimming then it is no problem. You have to pay for parking which is about $8 a night.
BWAI is a few buildings down from BWPPI. I like to stay at that hotel when BWPPI prices are just way too much. Just like BWPPI, the location is great and the prices can be cheaper than BWPPI. It doesn't have sofa beds like BWPPI, the standard rooms are very nice and updated with LCD TV's. You don't have to pay for parking at BWAI.
The downsides of BWAI is that it doesn't offer a continental breakfast and the parking can get really full at specific times of the day.
Hope this helps you PiO.
Great PTR!!! I'm plannning a trip to WDW in October 2013.
The food porn is great. I love the ones from your WORK weekend. I work with a bunch of foodies. Everytime we have contest at work with food being the prize, my branch always wins. I'm hoping the big bosses don't catch on and we end up with pizza for our year end bonus.
Would love to meet up with you if the timing is right...
David does not know if he is coming... I am going for work.
